Merry Christmas, all! We are so thrilled to be celebrating the birth of our Savior today along with the birth of our own special gift this year. 2018 has been a whirlwind and quite frankly, the complete opposite of what we experienced in 2017. God has been so kind to us this year and we are filled with deep gratitude when looking at all of His provisions…

Popping in today to share another fun little gift guide with yall… emphasis on “little” ;) Today’s gift ideas are all about the kiddos in your life! Whether you’re a mom, grandma, aunt, big sister, or friend, there are SO many adorable ideas here for all the kids you know regardless of age. Some of these are so amazing and glamorous that I wish I had them when I was little haha…

Happy Monday! Hope everyone had a great weekend! I’m excited to be sharing one of the most highly requested gift guides this year: gifts for all the men in your lives. I always find guys to be some of the hardest people to shop for, so I’m always super eager to hear other people’s ideas and check out gift guides for new ideas each holiday season…

Hey there! You don’t normally hear from me on Tuesdays but today is perhaps my favorite day of Cyber Week and most certainly the most important, so I couldn’t pass it over. If you aren’t aware, today is called “Giving Tuesday”. Following the madness of Thanksgiving, Black Friday and Cyber Monday, Giving Tuesday kicks off the season of giving back during the holidays and end-of-year.

Happy Cyber Monday to all! Not sure if yall took advantage of all the great deals this weekend (I know I did!) but today has even more amazing sales going on that are sure to make your holiday shopping a breeze! I got so much of our Christmas shopping done over the weekend and was able to save SO much, which feels amazing. Hoping to get a few more things checked off today while these deals last…

Hey friends! Happy Friday/Black Friday/day after Thanksgiving/my mama’s birthday… etc! ;) Hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving celebrating with loved ones. If you’re anything like us, you’re probably still in a bit of a food coma from all the yummy eating yesterday haha. Truly, I’m sitting on my couch today, hanging with Kennedy and doing some Black Friday shopping as we have a very slow day…

Black Friday sales seem to start earlier and earlier each year and since so many of you expressed interest and plans of shopping this week/weekend, I wanted to create one post with all the sale details you’ll need for the days to come. It will continually be added to and updated as things change this week, so be sure to refer back to this post!

Happy Monday and yay for a short week. Not sure what yall have planned for the big holiday, but we are excited to stay in town and introduce Kennedy to a lot of new family members who are coming to visit! :)

Happy Friday, friends! Thanks to all the input I got on my Instagram stories polls earlier this week, I got a lot of great feedback on what y’all want to see this holiday season. One of those things was holiday outfit inspiration, so today you’re getting some ideas on what to wear for Thanksgiving (which is less than two weeks away!?!?)

I've seen a few similar posts to this and thought it would be fun to look back on the highs of 2017 and take the opportunity to talk a little about Instagram with yall. This is a bit lengthy, but very interesting, so stick with me! As an incentive, I'm also sharing some great NYE weekend sales at the end of the post. ;)

First off, you've probably heard a lot of complaining about the new Instagram algorithm this year and how it's kind of been a pain for anyone who's trying to get their posts seen on the platform. I know for me personally, I'm super frustrated when I sign on and at the top of my feed are pics that are days old! What the heck!? I feel like I'm missing SO many posts from my friends, family and favorite influencers because of this.

Good news: there are a couple of things you can do to try and help the algorithm and start seeing the posts you like...

While it has been so fun to share gift guides all season long with y'all and talk fashion and shopping, today is about so much more than that. Today we celebrate the birth of our Savior and that far exceeds anything you could have bought in the last two months or any gift you may receive today.

One week from tomorrow, we will be celebrating New Year's Eve and preparing to ring in a new year! I can hardly wait.

I love getting dolled up for NYE, whether it's to attend a party or just go out for dinner and drinks before the ball drops. There are some occasions you can get away with wearing almost anything and New Year's is certainly one of those! For me, I'm all about the crushed velvet trend and some sparkle, so today I'm sharing some great outfit ideas that will fit whatever plans you may have next weekend.

Hi sweet friends! Today's post is a little something different... Ell over at ELLDUCLOS started this super fun post where she came up with 15 winter and holiday-themed questions to have bloggers fill out and share with one another. I was tagged by my wonderful friend, entrepreneur and fellow girl boss, Jacqueline at Midwest Mannered. Jacqueline and I went to high school together and now she's the owner of a precious boutique, La Ville, just miles from where we both grew up.

Now, let's get to these fun questions! And don't forget to check out the bloggers I'm tagging at the end who will be sharing their answers next. ;)

Can y'all believe Christmas is ONE WEEK from today!? Who else is a little freaked out by that!? Well, I hope you've got most of your shopping done at this point, but don't worry, a lot can be done in one week's time... I'm counting on it! ;)

For this year's final gift guide I wanted to share some of my favorite stocking stuffer ideas, all of which are under $25 (most actually under $20)! These are things you can find almost anywhere at this point, so fear not about shopping online for these exact items and having to ship them to your house by next weekend. Everything you see in this image came from one of four retailers: Anthropologie, Nordstrom, Target or J.Crew. I love all four of these for small items like stocking stuffers because the variety is huge and the price point is perfect!

Happy Friday! Did y'all know today is free shipping day?! It's no surprise that time to ship gifts is dwindling, so today, many retailers are providing FREE shipping to get your goodies to you by next weekend. Be sure to check out some of these online shops and take advantage of this today! PS - many of these stores are also running great sales in addition to the free shipping! ;)

Happy Green Monday! Did y'all know that's a thing?!? In fact, Green Monday is the third biggest online shopping day of the year and some even refer to it as the "Cyber Monday" of December. So what's the big deal?! Well, that's just it... DEALS! ;)

We'll get to those in a second, but first off, this Monday's gift guide is all with your hostess friends in mind! Whether you're going to an office party or a family member's house for a holiday get together, it's always nice to bring a little something for the person who is so graciously hosting you.

Happy Wednesday! Today I thought it would be fun to share with yall what I have on MY Christmas wish list this year! I've shared some of these items before and some things might be totally new to you. Either way, these are things that I am secretly (or not so secretly haha) hoping to find under the tree in a couple weeks! ;)

It's Monday! You know what that means... a new gift guide is ready for you! There are just TWO more gift guide Mondays after today and I'm particularly excited about this one. As a fitness instructor (and tbh because I'm a millennial) I am all to familiar with living in athleisure... I love a good fitness themed gift, whether it be leggings, a great sweater or new gym bag!

December is here, which means that for many, it's time for all of our special holiday traditions. Michael and I are both very much into tradition and have loved creating our own together over the last four years of marriage.

Today I wanted to share some of our favorite traditions we look forward to this time of year, as well as some others from yall that I think are SO worth adopting!
